Fluid Dynamics for Relativistic Nuclear Collisions

I give an introduction to the basic concepts of fluid dynamics as applied to the dynamical description of relativistic nuclear collisions.

Nonequilibrium Dynamics of Relativistic Quantum Fields

The understanding of quantal many-body systems is a challenging task for far-from-equilibrium conditions as appearing in high energy heavy-ion collisions or cosmological problems. It is of relevance to describe ab-initio thermalization by taking into account all quantum aspects of the particles rather than invoking semi-classical approximation schemes from the beginning [1, 2]. We here consider...

General relativistic dynamics of irrotational dust: Cosmological implications.

The non–linear dynamics of cosmological perturbations of an irrotational collisionless fluid is analyzed within General Relativity. Relativistic and Newtonian solutions are compared, stressing the different role of boundary conditions in the two theories. Cosmological implications of relativistic effects, already present at second order in perturbation theory, are studied and the dynamical role...

Quantum Computation of Fluid Dynamics

Presented is a quantum lattice gas for Navier-Stokes fluid dynamics simulation. The quantum lattice-gas transport equation at the microscopic scale is presented as a generalization of the classical lattice-gas transport equation. A special type of quantum computer network is proposed that is suitable for implementing the quantum lattice gas. The quantum computer network undergoes a partial coll...
